Okay, I think you are generally wrong, and I will add what I can to correct a lot of the mistakes that you are stating as fact, but I simply don't have time tonight. I will add more to the discussion tomorrow.

In the meantime I have to point on one important thing.

Quote from "Kracov" »

And yes, i realize that the D3 team isn't the original team, it's a "new" team and that they are "split up" working on WoW and other stuff.

WHAT?!?! If you're saying that the DIII team works on other projects at the same time as DIII, then no, you are wrong. The DIII team is only working on DIII.

If you mean that the DII team has been split up, then yes, sort of. It was stated a long time ago that about half (40 or so) of the Blizz North team is working on DIII. The other half was either let go, or working on other projects.

Out of the choices, I'd think Fire and Brimstone is the closest. But like others have said, it should also be a bloody destructive, souls being eaten, terrifying, incredibly hostile environment.

And to tag along with what Kiowa was saying, wouldn't it be awesome if there was a quest in the bowels of Hell for each class that is specifically that class' worst fears come to life?

Not only is a glass of wine a day good for you, but there was a recent study done on if Guinness was actually good for you because of their old motto. Well it turns out that drinking about a pint of Guinness a day is actually good for you. The reason is because of massive quantities of antioxidants, and also that Guinness breweries use isinglass for the clarification process and to prevent the hops from sticking to the tubs. Isinglass is a kind of gelatin like fish oil. Go figure Guinness has fish oil.

Back on topic. I sure got pissed last night. About 4 pints of Extra Stout, a couple glasses of wine, and a couple shots of vodka. Terrible mix I know. Thankfully I'm not paying for it too bad today.

Pepsi is acidic.
Pepsi has no benefits.
Pepsi contains sugar which is bad for teeth and is a simple carbohydrate.
The gas in pepsi is also bad for teeth and stomach.
Sodium benzonate isn't all that great, either.
In ANY amounts, mind you.
Shit be crazy, indeed.

The irony in Turmobil's post was too much for me. It's like someone smoking a camel wide cigarette and saying that pot is gonna kill you.:xD: Mind you I don't smoke pot, but I do smoke rettes. I hand roll chemical-less tubaky. Its delicious

Oh yeah, and drinking began last night, I had a small hiatus while I was at work for 6 hours, and now I'm back tom my favorite black friend. Guinness.:cheers: Not drunk yet, but working on it.

Well I would love to do this, but if my schedule is the same as this week, I won't get off work until 6pm PST, that's 9pm EST. It sucks too since I'm a necro specialist.

I would suggest the Oak/summon Druid be a class in your list as well. It would really make a difference. But then of course there will be lag.

I will begin playing early in the morning immediately after the reset, so there is a possibility of joining you guys around 6pm.

Okay, I think I'll give this one a shot. I never really got into the "race", but I'll put forward my best efforts. I'll pull as much of an all-nighter as I can, but as many people have said, I am working the next day.

Bnet: Memphaestus - USWest

Edit: Creating a USEast as we speak.

You know, as much as I would love for this movie to be incredible, I really don't see that happening.:QQ:

It looks like Robert Rodriguez just grabbed the whole crew from Deathproof and Grindhouse. Granted, those movies aren't bad, but they didn't turn out phenomenal. Okay, I loved Deathproof, but Grindhouse was definitely a blah, junk b-movie.

As for the cast of Predators, everyone is a TV actor minus a couple of moderately big names. Which to me, as an actor, says that this movie is going to be horribly overacted with no true emotion. Of course Danny Trejo is gonna be in it, Robert can't leave out family. Mind you his character's name is Cuchillo, which means knife in spanish. He'll be playing the Sonny Landham part.

Then there are the predator actors. There's 3 of them, and only 1 of them actually has a good history as a costume man, Brian Steel. The 2nd, Carey Jones has always been a techie, and is going to do his debut acting as a Pred, and the 3rd is strictly a tv guy except for his appearance as Jason in the 09 Friday the 13th. Then you throw Topher Grace in there. Christ, that can't be good. It's going to take a lot of directing from Robert for Topher to play a believable normal character. I'll talk about the stars later when I talk about plot.

The production designers have identical resumes, I mean they both did Kill Bill 1/2, Grindhouse, Deathproof, Sin City, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Spy Kids 2/3, The Faculty, Jackie Brown, and it goes on and on. Tons of sub par, mediocre hokey action flicks. Nothing in that list really screams "difficult costume/set design" aside from Sin City, and most of that was shot on green screen. The PD's don't have any working experience with animatronics and creature construction. You could argue the Faculty, but that was CG, and bad CG at that.

Then there's the writers. Of course Robert Rodriguez had to put his stamp up there, and he did it for a reason. The other two writers are some fresh out of college guys with no experience under their belts at all!!O_O That was my red flag right there.

That finally brings us to plot. Nothing has been released yet, but Lawrence Fishburne is probably going to play the ultimate badass, "Arnie" character. Adrien Brody will play the cool but also kinda nerdy sidekick, he'll probably get killed. They sure as hell better kill Topher Grace in the movie, who will probably be some annoying little brat as usual, or surely it will be a failure of a story. And then of course in every modern action movie, it can't be a show run by the man. There must still be tough girl who kicks and punches just as hard as the guy who weighs 100lbs of muscle more than her. That is played by Alice Braga,(seen in I am Legend and Blindness) and of course, she won't die. Oh I almost forgot, Oleg Taktarov, (Air Force One, 15 minutes) he'll probably play a secondary character, and he'll probably die. But for some reason, I've always liked him as an actor though. I have faith that he will be able to throw in a good performance to balance out some of the weak actors.

Now of course I am going to see the movie in theaters, simply because I am praying for a good sequel. But I honestly think it is going to be a failure, much like AvP.

Forgive my harsh ranting.

*steps off pedestal"

I know, I was just teasin ya. It is inevitable that this RP will eventually fail, but I find it is bad luck to talk about it's demise when it has barely even begun.

For the goggle lenses, use Nightshade. It's a tinting spray designed for car taillights and headlights, or basically anything plastic. Its real easy to use, and if you do it right, it turns out looking like it was made that way. You can google "how to nightshade", and any of the car forums that pop up will have directions.

But for quick directions.
1. Scuff lenses w/ green scotchbright pad, wipe clean
2. Spray nightshade on thin and however many coats to achieve desired darkness.
3. Scuff lenses w/ green scotchbright pad, wipe clean
4. Spray clearcoat on thick.

As for the lighted eyes, I would say a single LED w/ a curved black shade that covers behind the light, so it doesn't shine in your face. And LED's don't get hot, so no worries there. Just wire it to an AA battery and you're set. The good thing with nightshade, is that you can go as light or as dark as you want, for visibility sake.

I have Thursday off of work:thumbsup:, and me and my friends are throwing a decent sized party (20-40). I'll be pounding back several pints of my regular drink, Guinness. And then following those up with shots of Jameson or Tullamore Dew. Smoke a couple of my fine hand rolled rettes in between. Play some pong, maybe some quarters. And then with a little luck, I'll get naked with some beautiful girl between my sheets.:beg:

Wish me luck that I don't get whiskey dick, or puke and pass out before the fun stuff happens.:cheers:

You know I have to say that I'm against you on this one Mars. For some reason, I pretty much stay away from every single spam thread. Maybe that's why my post count is so low for how long I've been here. I prefer to talk about real topics, like DIII news, upcoming video games, nostalgia threads, or helping people with PC's (which is tough cuz nobody is posting in the same place).:boom:

As for the rep and experience rating systems, I don't really care about them. I love the way that they will help many people figure out who are the "important" people on here, and I applaud everyone for coming up with those ideas. Except that I still have no idea how to raise my green bar in the xp rating. But when it comes right down to it, I still just see people as people, and I either like them and their posts, or I don't. And every once in a while, a spammer will shock me with a great post.

I agree with Sixen. This \/ \/

Quote from "Umpa65" »

In fact, this brings me to a broader realization. None of the little trackers on this forum dictate how I percieve people. Not the post count, reputation, title, or experience level. You could have the most posts ever or the most rep ever and still be a total idiot in my opinion from what I have read. So in other words, none of the trackers can ever compare to seeing the personality, intelligence, and views of a poster IN a post.

:thumbsup:

Okay, I've started working on the overclocking thread. The problem is that there is a huge jump in tech level from what I've described here, to properly describing overclocking. So a lot of the OC thread will be defining things.

I'd like to make another invitation to any who have any questions whatsoever about pc's to post them in here. Thanks.

First off, nobody knows yet, since the requirements have not been announced by Blizzard. But you can get an idea by looking at the SC2 requirements.

Second, we do need a lot more info than you've given us, like Hungry said.

Quote from "emilemil1" »

WoW! Me too!

I think some good guidelines would be to look at the SC2 requirements, which I'm guessing are higher than those for D3. Finding something that can run it on medium quality shouldn't be too hard, but if you want it to be 100% smooth at all times you probably have to buy something that can run it on high, because even the best games have moments when their requirements spikes.

I have to say that DIII will almost surely have higher requirements. The first thing that comes to mind is the DIII maps will be significantly larger with many more complex surroundings, such as lighting, weather effects, destructible environments, etc. Secondly I would assume that with a release at least 1 year later than SC2, DIII will have a greater polygon count. And the final thing that will affect sysreqs, that I can think of off hand, is that the amount of creatures on screen will be less than SC2's max, <~400, allowing greater polygon count. Now what effect this has on the sysreqs I don't know, because Blizz could go either direction.

Yeah, quit whining!!;) I'm here still, just taking it easy since everyone else is.

Day tuk er jabs!!
